How it works
You do not need to do much on the day: show us the spot, tell us when to start, and enjoy your staff event. We handle the cooking and serving. After-work summer events in Walmer have daylight until about 9:15pm in late June and 7:00pm in late September; for winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, we need lighting.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your staff.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Before we arrive
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
How to get a price
Every quote is worked out for your event. Start with your date, and we’ll confirm whether we are available that day.

Should I sort the food myself?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
The menu, dish by dish
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it is lovely with a pie.
Haddock and chips
